St. Patrick's Day.....

Still no photos....but I've been updated on the Polar Ice skating adventures. Let's see.... watch alot of violent animated TV in the morning then skate for awhile. Today was Science Day, so they went outside and exploded some type of "black drink". "Mommies and Daddies don't like it". "But we went outside, and we didn't make a mess inside". Good to know! Ate pizza again and fruit salad. No "tree branch dressing" today! Had a karate lesson both today and yesterday from "Mrs. Gavin"... who I suppose is the wife of the owner of the karate place next door- owned by a guy named "McGowan". What else?.... "Went to the potty and someone came in and said "Do you need any help in here?- and I said No". See.... after conducting homeopathic interviews for the last 20 years... I get all the details:). Today I showed up about an hour early to see what they were doing.... and sure enough... they were watching TV:(. Yesterday, Jasmine "got in trouble" for yelling "shut up" twice to some "older girls"..(age 7-8yrs) who were telling her to do something. I told them that Jasmine was not used to watching so much violent TV. Their response "All of the cartoons are approved by the manager". Really. Then, one of the little teenage girls running the camp told me that Jasmine fell alot today. She has a bruise and bump on her forehead, large bruise and swelling on her knee and I am informed that "her butt hurts". Guess that's just part of skating!. And.... last but not least... Jasmine proceeds to tell me ... as we are walking out... that she put a full glass of lemonade in her backpack... as it is dripping out all over the sidewalk. Everything inside.... as well as the backpack itself is/was covered with sticky lemonade. Awesome!! Hosed it off outside. The only good thing about this "camp" is that she may have had about 10 hours of skate time... no instruction... but still just skating around on the ice is helpful. Probably not going to go back to this camp again... but at least got some skating time in:)
